Italian Pool launches the raised pool

Unicapool is a new patented system that combines the strong points of above-ground and in-ground pools. It comes from the will to join handiness, functionality and beauty in one single structure easy to install in any space and position.

Unicapool is a raised modular pool that is easy to install like an above-ground pool and it’s pleasant like an in-ground one; the patent is 100% made in Italy and it’s brand new for being raised and modular. Unicapool provides modular pools equipped with all the elements required for installation, i.e. structure, flooring, flaps, perimeter protections, filtering systems and pipes, stairs to the solarium and to the pool. The supporting structure is made of modular steel units that can be easily and quickly assembled and disassembled thanks to a snap-fit system which does not require any authorization, no need of screws nor excavation. The pool is built in a real flooring with a perimeter solarium – which is modular and suitable for any size – where people can lie down next to the water and live the pool exactly as they would do with an in-ground pool. The raised flooring – supported by the galvanized steel structure – has useful compartments to store pool accessories, sun beds and garden tools, and of course the technical room with all the equipments, easy to inspect. Once the galvanized steel structure is assembled and the water treatment system is installed, the inside of the pool is lined with panels of phenolic multiple layers by using a simple screwless technique; on top of it the Flagpool’s waterproof PVC liner provides the Unicapool with the desired outlook thanks to 23 colours available. Then the Duro Decking® solarium made of already formed platforms will compose the floor area. The pool flooring has been chosen expressly to be long lasting and it looks and feels extremely natural.

The product is eco-friendly: its primary component is the husk (coating) of the grain of rice combined with virgin polymers. It has extraordinary mechanical properties and high performance standards. It can be coloured/treated in different ways, it requires minimum maintenance, it has no splinters (so people can walk barefoot on it), it offers maximum stability over time because it’s weatherproof, UV and chemicals resistant. Unicapool’s solarium uses the patented iDecking assembling system, which doesn’t require screws, glues nor spacers, thus it’s very handy (the solarium is tailor-made, very easy to assemble because it should be simply embedded, it avoids potential seepages around screws). In winter the pool can be closed at the solarium level with a walkable area made up of iDeck slats, which turns the pool into a wonderful patio. Unicapool’s standard kit has: sand filters, complete circulation system, night light, stainless steel stair to the pool, stair to the solarium. Standard size starts from 4.50 x 7.00 mt (pool 2.50 x 5.00 mt) up to 7.00 x 12.00 mt (pool 5.00 x 10.00), the water level is always 1.20 mt. 5 years guarantee.
